Perhaps needless to say, things do not end well for Donnie.

In "I Was There. Just Ask Photoshop," Alex Williams of the NY Times writes about the pervasiveness of image manipulation in our culture. Regarding the manipulation of family photos, I found this bit interesting:

In India, she said, it is a tradition to cut-and-paste head shots of absent family members into wedding photographs as a gesture of respect and inclusion. "Everyone understands that it’s not a trick," she said. "That’s the nature of the photograph. It’s a Western sense of reality that what is in front of the lens has to be true."

Congrats to Troy, Matt, and all the Big Fat Brain folks. The spin-off series Snatchbuckler’s Second Chance continues on My Damn Channel.

"We had both been in the agency business so long that after a while we’d seen every kind of person in the advertising world." One of those stereotypes, he said, was the "insane designer, basically. He has horrible social skills and horrible things going on in his life and the only thing he has going for him is he can out-Photoshop the guy in the cube next to him."

Matt & Troy Hitch are now back in action with Snatchbuckler’s Second Chance, picking up with Donnie’s tastefully named WoW comrade. [Via Scott Valentine]

By the way, in the vein of funny vids, animator Jim Geduldick points out this expert parody of the motion graphics clichés of car commercials (loaded with profanity, so don’t click if that’s not your bag).

It’s good to indulge in a little schadenfreude now and then, and with phrases like “the culturally-ravaged, post-wardrobe-malfunction neo-fundamentalist, sexual dystopia we live in,” it has to be good. (Wasn’t that the Smucker’s slogan?) [Via Lori Grunin]

On a more straightforward video training note, the pros at Total Training are running a special on CS3 training. You can save up to 35%, but you’ve gotta be quick as the special ends tomorrow (Jan. 8) at midnight.
